Weldon remains spark plug despite injury
Kansas lost freshman guard Chakeitha Weldon for the year after Weldon tore her ACL in practice last Tuesday. Henrickson said although it was devastating for the Atlanta, Ga., native to go down after playing so well in the last few games, the team could still use her energy on the bench. As has become tradition, Weldon got the Jayhawks fired up by leading the team’s pregame huddle.
Dialing long distance
Kansas St. nailed six three-pointers in the win, just under its average of 6.5 made per game. Oppositely, Kansas was a woeful 0-for-6 from long distance.
“We’re not going to win a three-point shooting contest and we don’t need to (in order) to be successful,” Henrickson said.
That may be, but it’s almost impossible to win a game without making a three-pointer. Freshman forward Nicollette Smith, the team’s leading three-point shooter, didn’t even attempt a trey on Saturday.
Giving it away
Kansas turned the ball over 19 times in Saturday’s loss, which remarkably is under its average for turnovers in conference games.
The Jayhawks average 20.9 giveaways per game in conference play, the most in the Big 12. Against Kansas St., five Kansas plays had multiple turnovers.
